Greensleeves
About 6 minutes
An English folk tune from the 1500s, in A minor and in a lilting 6/8. The G sharp near the end is what makes it ache.
A is the 2nd fret of the G string, B the open B, C its 1st fret, D its 3rd. E and F are the open and 1st fret of the high E. G is the open G, G sharp its 1st fret.
Traditional English, 16th century. Public domain.
The opening phrase
To pass: four out of five right. The mic listens only while you play, and nothing is recorded.
Hear it first, then play along at your own pace.
